Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party and Hili Tropper's Beit Tzioni party have agreed to run together in the upcoming elections. Under the deal, MK Hili Tropper, Shira Shapira, Elissaf Peretz, and Shlomi Yehiav will join the Yashar Knesset list, the party's spokesperson said Sunday.
Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, and Hili Tropper, chairman of the Beit Tzioni party, have reached an agreement for a joint run in the upcoming Knesset elections. The deal, announced Sunday by the Yashar spokesperson, brings MK Hili Tropper, Shira Shapira, Elissaf Peretz, and Shlomi Yehiav onto the Yashar list.
The merger strengthens Eisenkot's campaign ahead of the elections, adding Tropper's faction. Tropper previously led the 'Beit Tzioni' party, which he established after splitting from the Together (Beyachad) party led by Naftali Bennett, as The Zioneer has previously reported. Eisenkot's Yashar party has been leading in recent polls, positioning him as a contender for prime minister. The agreement signals continued consolidation among centrist and right-wing opposition parties.
